7 Ingredients Of Good Corporate Design

`manicho:iconmanicho: reports, October 8
A great article at Smashing Magazine that every designer should check. If you're into Coroporate Design, I'm sure you will find this info really useful.

For a good corporate design, we need to be aware of two main elements, which can be further broken down into a total of seven “ingredients”.

What I CAN tell you is, if you come here, you can see all the stories and meanings I see behind people's artworks! I'm not saying my opinion is or isn't one or the best, but if you're like me, you'd say, "Hell, who cares how professional it is or isn't, every opinion matters!" ;P

To get the ball rolling, I sent out a bunch of notes to random people. I still have quite a few pending replies, which I will use for the next Community Choice Feature. If you would like to participate, just send me a note titled "CC" and include 3 or 4 works that you would like featured. I will continue the series if there is interest from the community.
